Prescot FAQs

Who does the work in Prescot?
Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.
Why is the annual test done out of hours?
After a full-duration test the batteries need time to recharge, so the building is less protected for a while. Testing at the end of the day avoids that risk while people are inside.
